I'm just missing two front teeth. Check with your family on both sides as far back as you can. My missing teeth are hereditary. No, it's not normal to have only that amount of teeth on the top. Sometimes, though, the tooth just won't pop out of the gum, and the dentist will either cut away some of the gum so you have some tooth exposed, or she/he will just pull down the tooth, don't worry, you would be numbed. And if no one in our family is missing any one of those, ask your dentist to give x-rays to see if you actually have them or not.
